  Yeah, but in that sense, Cortex-A9 is a subset or Cortex-A8 so if the 
A8 code works, the A9 code should work as well - which is exactly the 
reverse of what Ed saw.

  Also, I know several people have used buildroot on an mx6 with the A9 
option, and it did seem to work for them.

  Perhaps it's a problem with the Sourcery 2013.05 toolchain? Any chance 
of trying a different one?
